Thank you, Kasie. I am a geek (actually, I think being a geek is cool, which makes a dork, I guess :conehead:)Quote:

My current course ends in the end of October on the same date my next one starts :p
I'm going to fail miserably. :(
I also think i've lost my senses as i'm doing two courses at once as another one starts in November. *gulp*
Oh, don't say that!Quote:

I have decided to tidy up and put my assignments from past two years away today. Looking at the number of pages gathered, I could have written a book (however dull it might have been).
Hi! Referred to by Scheherazade! Hi guys! First year in college and as a full time student. I'm aiming to get my associates in science, but I don't know if my major is science! All I know is that I want to be a veterinarian. Let the advisors handle the rest! haha. Well, I am in the honors program at my community college, so I have tuition paid for for two years...if I keep my grades up, which I really do mean to do! Let's see. After I get my AS(Associates in Science), I plan to transfer to a university with a 3.75 grade point average and a humanities class taken so that I can get into the honors program there and get two more years of paid tuition! :p So yeah, four years planned out already!
Good luck with it all, Beautiful! You are going to have a really busy four years but it is great that you know what you want to do :)Quote:

In the UK, you can get certificates (usually one year of study is required for this) or diplomas (2 years) and degrees are usually 3 or 4 years.
Well, actually, associates is a degree. the process. is, Associates, Bachelors, Masters, then Doctors. Those are the four different degrees you can get. and they are respectively in the order i just listed off.Quote:

My books have arrived! I am trying not to panic.
:yikes:
Good luck, hope you enjoy your studies. And don't panic!Quote:

Don't give up, please, Niamh. Try to spare couple of days and put together as much as you can. Panic always acts as a good stimulant :)Quote:

I'm about 3/4 of the way through my first year (it's gone very quickly!)
I'm on holidays for 2 weeks, followed by 4 weeks of classes (then exams ;))
Hopefully I can scrape through and get the minimum average I need (already planning my graduate degree :D)
So I finish in November, and don't start again until March - plenty of time for my trip to Vietnam, Thailand and Cambodia :D
Where are all the students??
My first assignment is due on 23/11. I should take advantage of the half term and start worrying about it but probably that won't happen.
Again:Quote:

I will be very happy with 70%.
